معرفی
Dr. John Ogunsola is a Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow, specializing in Host-Parasite Interactions & Pathogenesis. His work focuses on understanding immunological responses to parasitic infections, particularly Trypanosoma species, and their systemic effects on host physiology. He has contributed to studies on chronic Trypanosoma brucei infections in murine models, investigating mechanisms like IL-17 signaling and adipose tissue dynamics. His research also spans toxicological effects of environmental pollutants and veterinary pathology, including comparative studies in cattle and fish.
Key research areas include:
- Host-parasite immunology
- Chronic infection pathogenesis
- Toxicology in animal models
- Veterinary histopathology
Recent work highlights include:
- Epistatic genetic associations in kidney disease (EBioMedicine, 2024)
- Role of IL-17 in regulating adipose tissue during Trypanosoma infections (Nature Communications, 2023)
- Meningeal lymphoid tissue responses in chronic infections (PLoS Biology, 2023)
Grants include Wellcome Trust-funded projects on APOL1-mediated kidney disease and parasite street science initiatives. His work bridges basic immunology, veterinary medicine, and environmental health.
